Huh, are you building bombs, guys? (:-)) For most physical processes 1ms,
even 10ms cycle is more than enough. Linux can easily deliver you 1ms
cycle.

Furthermore, I didn't see the specifications of the GPIO, but I suspect
that the time it needs to multiplex (how many A/D converters it actually
has?) and to convert all inputs and outputs could be well over 10ms.

And who is talking about performance while choosing an ARM?

The real trouble with an OS like Linux is the boot time. Some applications,
in automotive, for example, require boot time under 1s. Which is quite a
challenge.
